I remember thinking, after 2-3 listens, that this was "definitely not Eno's best record, but definitely in his top five." I'm so glad that I realized I was wrong. Merges the tradition of melody with his own creation, ambiance.

Seriously Calm and Pure album

there should be a worldwide law requiring everyone to listen to this masterpiece

I'm still a bit new to this album but it's certainly growing on me. Doesn't sound much like anything else I've heard before, but at the same time it feels like I've known it my whole life. Sounds pretty ahead of it's time, as most great music does. Favourite tracks so far are: 'Sky Saw', 'Over Fire Island', 'Sombre Reptiles', 'Zawinul/Lava' and 'Everything Merges with the Night'.

Ambient heaven. This album lifts you into another green world. The album flows perfectly with a variety of songs with three or four beautiful pop songs placed in between the most atmospheric ditties you'll ever hear. And you can't forget the fantastic bass playing throughout especially in the opening 2 tracks.

Pretty tense mostly-instrumental album by Eno which lays out the ambient template equivalent of early jazz (with a couple of jazz-playing Brand X members to boot, including Phil Collins). Robert Fripp plays guitar across the album. (Check out his quick licks on "st. elmo's fire".) A lot of the first ambient owes Brian Eno and Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream as pioneers of their sound -- i doubt Moby would sound like himself without Brian Eno's 70s works. i like this album more than kraftwerk's trans-europe express mostly because these songs sound more like abstract SONGS than kraftwerk's abstract ideas set to music. i can hear atmospherics of early phil collins in "zawinul / lava".

They're not better, they're different. "Another Green World" is the musical equivalent of an impressionist painting.

In a single album, Eno manages to create an entirely new genre of music (ambient) and to craft some of his best songs. Not to mention that the album has some of Robert Fripp's best guitar playing ever (best solo ever is on "St. Elmo's Fire" without a doubt). This is beyond classic.
